ADVERTISING DEvIcE'.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN -T. WALSH, a

citizen of the United States, residing in East Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Advertising Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates in general to advertising devices and more particularly to devices provided for the advertisement of oils, varnishes and other liquids ordinarily packaged in sheet metal cans or containers.

One of the principal objects of my invention is the provision of an advertising device of the character described which will be effective and distinctive in appearance, readily impressing itself upon the mind of an observer and which may be conveniently and compactly packed for shipment and readily assembled for advertising use.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as it is better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment thereof.

On the drawing, Figure 1 i a front elevation of an advertising device embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same; and Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

The advertising device shown on the drawing is particularly adapted for the advertisement of oils, varnishes and other liquids and other materials and'substances of liquid form which are marketed in sheet metal cans or containers. Bottles 4. are provided, in which the particular brand or oil or varnish or other material ordinarily marketed in the can and being advertised may be displayed. A can 6, resembling in shape and general appearance the can in which the oil, varnish or other material is marketed, is provided in connection with the bottles 4, the can preferably being a miniature reproduction of the actual can used in marketing the material. The can 6 preferably has a removable cover 7 upon which are formed reproductions of the ordinary screw cap 8 and the lifting ring or bail 9. In each side of the body portion 9 of the can and extendingdownwardly from the top of this body Specification of Letters Patent. Patented, Apr, 11 1916,

Application filed July 8, 1914. Serial No. 849,741.

Y portion is provided a slot or opening 10 in which'is engaged the two ends 11 of fastening cllps or bands 12 each of which secures a bottle 4: in position. The height of the body portion of the container is preferably greater than the height of the bottles, and the bands 12 support the bottlessomewhat above the base of the container. The container or can is preferably of a proper size to permit the bottles 14: to be positioned within-it during shipment, so that when the device is packed it occupies no more space than that taken up by the can itself.

Two different grades of the same material or two different materials which are pack aged for the trade in cansof the type used, may be advertised at the same time by the device described, one kind or grade being placed in each bottle. The number oflbottles may be increased for other grades or materials if desired and labels 5 may be afliXed to the bottles to differentiate the grades or materials.

It will be apparent that when the bottles are secured to the can the whole device will present a pleasing and distinctive appearance, prominently displayingthe container materials sold in said container, so that both the materials and the packages in which they are marketed will be firmly impressed upon the mind of observers.

It will be obvious moreover that various changes may be made in the form, construcand'permitting a close inspection of the 4 tion and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore disclosed being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
